Chapter 367 A Glimmer of Light in Twenty-Seven Years

As the plot unfolds...

When He Hongwei went to pick up his daughter from school, he happened to see the old books that had been cleared out.

The original copy of "Micro-Continuum," which had been gathering dust for over a hundred years and had been largely ignored, caught his eye.

The reason he saw that unopened book at first glance might be fate, or it might be due to his professional habit.

Because the research topic he is working on involves this aspect.

He was immediately captivated and shocked when he opened the book.

He found the answers to many of the problems that had been troubling him in this book.

He laughed maniacally, cheering as if he had found a priceless treasure.

To his astonishment, he had never heard of this book, which was published more than a hundred years ago.

Author: He Xi!

What shocked him even more was that the problem he had been working on had already been thoroughly theoretically studied by someone more than a hundred years ago.

But why is it that such a great scientist, who completed such a great work, has remained undiscovered for over a hundred years?
He searched for a lot of information, but because so much time had passed, he couldn't find much of it.

But perseverance pays off. While conducting his research, he also asked someone to look up information about He Xi, the great mathematician from 150 years ago.

He desperately wanted to know what exactly happened 150 years ago, and why such a great study, which was enough to shock the entire scientific community, had been buried for more than a hundred years!
His research was successful.

The Grand Unified Theory and the Micro-Continuity Principle: This research could allow humanity to unravel the mysteries of time and realize time travel, a phenomenon previously only possible in science fiction movies.

Although it can only travel through time and space as a soul-like entity at present, and can only observe from the sidelines, this is already a groundbreaking breakthrough.

This is a scientific achievement that is enough to shock the world.

Those who have read the novel "The Heartbroken" will naturally know what happened to He Xi 150 years ago.

However, it successfully piqued the curiosity of many people who had not read the novel.

Why were scientists whose research could win the Nobel Prize in Physics, whose research could shock the world, and whose research could be called great, buried for 150 years?
The time-space conversion machine has been created.

He Hongwei, however, was even more eager to know how the great He Xi had written the "Micro-Continuous Original" that had been passed down for over a century!
With the operation of the time machine, He Hongwei arrived in He Xi's era!

He Xi grew up in a single-parent family. Her mother, Xia Qunfang, was untalented and incompetent, merely a mother. While He Xi was pursuing her master's degree, Xia Qunfang was laid off and opened her own grocery store.

Xia Qunfang's greatest pleasure was watching He Xi engrossed in his books through the glass windows of C University's library. She was filled with hope, even though life was boring and financially strained. The thought of He Xi graduating with a master's degree and finding a good job, thus provoking those who mocked her exceptionally talented son for not being able to find employment after graduating from university, filled her with hope, and she lived in that hope.

He Hongwei also saw He Xi through the glass window.

I saw this great mathematician who wrote "Elements of Microcontinuum"!

At this moment, he still appears very green and immature.

He Xi's genius made him shine, so it was no surprise that the pure and beautiful Jiang Xue was attracted to him.

She didn't care about the strange looks from her roommates and classmates, and ignored the pursuit of Old Mike, who was a better match in appearance.

Within the small ivory tower, in that tiny world, He Xi's mathematical talent, and his dark, star-like eyes, possessed an unknown, mysterious charm. In the end, Jiang Xue quietly surrendered her soul, letting He Xi ferry her across.

If the story continues smoothly, He Xi may break free from the shackles of real life and dance her own solo in the world of mathematics.

Stunning Jiang Xue

Amazing the world

Then, amidst laughter and joy, he gained both fame and fortune, and remained in love with Jiang Xue until old age.

However, this is only the most beautiful vision.

He Hongwei had no idea how it would end, so he looked at the couple and smiled like an aunt.

In fact, at this very moment, those viewers who haven't read the novel are thinking the same thing.

Perhaps the previous reverse publicity gave them a false impression, causing them to forget the film's title, "The Heartbroken"!
We forget that tragedies often begin with sweetness and warmth.

He Xi's girlfriend, Jiang Xue, is lively, cheerful, beautiful, and generous. She is a hundred times better than He Xi in terms of personality, appearance, and family background.

It could be said that even He Xi himself was deeply surprised that someone like him would agree to be his girlfriend. He was dull and pedantic; before Jiang Xue, his mind was filled only with "micro-continuum," and after meeting Jiang Xue, his mind was filled only with "micro-continuum" and Jiang Xue. His life consisted of nothing but these things—monotonous and boring.

Oh no, he also has a mother who depends on him for survival!

That was his whole life! But people often overlook the most important things.

Clearly, this is exactly how He Xi is right now!
Back to the movie.

He Hongwei watched He Xi become engrossed in "micro-continuum", looked at He Xi and Jiang Xue, the golden couple, and looked at Xia Qunfang, who was full of expectations.

She didn't understand mathematics, let alone micro-continuum, but she was still proud of her son!
Of course, things weren't all that wonderful. Although it seemed perfect, contradictions always existed.

Perhaps this is why university is what many people yearn for most, because only in the ivory tower can one find the purest love!
Just like He Xi and Jiang Xue!
Jiang Xue is naturally outstanding, and she has never lacked suitors!
For example, she has a computer science prodigy like Lao Mai around her, whose family background and personality are similar to Jiang Xue's. He Xi feels out of place when she is with them and fails in social situations.

Jiang Xue's father, Jiang Beiyuan, is a retired professor of computer science. He dislikes He Xi's major and wants him to study another subject, while also urging him to find a job. This is the mundane life of a researcher, He Xi's life outside of his "micro-continuum".

Excellent women are never short of suitors; Lao Mai is just one, and he is not He Xi's biggest competitor.

Up until Huang Bo plays Jiang Xue's admirer, He Xi's former beloved student, a shrewd and generous socialite.

Analyzing these three identities one by one, it turns out that He Xi has encountered a rival in love who is excellent and ahead in every way—Old Kang!

In terms of talent, He Xi is exceptionally gifted, but has not yet achieved any outstanding accomplishments. Lao Kang, on the other hand, works in a technology-based industry, where knowledge and skills are indispensable, and he has already achieved great success in his career.

From a material perspective, the difference between a social being and a poor student is immediately apparent.

In all comparisons, it lost out.

Even He Xi, a boy whose emotional intelligence was originally questionable, sensed the crisis.

However, as everyone knows, he is not the shrewd and worldly-wise person like Lao Kang, nor does he come from a good family. Therefore, there is only one thing he can do: make himself worthy of Jiang Xue.

He wanted to use the method he was best at!
He Xi's method of retaliation was to publish a book.

However, he probably never imagined that this action would plunge his fate into the abyss.

The theory of microcontinuity is harmonious and perfect, with an impeccable proof. However, the problem is, "we don't know what it can be used for."

A theory that cannot be applied to practice is like a flower that cannot bear fruit; no matter how beautiful it is, it is useless.

But He Xi was captivated and completely engrossed.

At first, he did it for love; later, it was simply for destiny.

He spent ten years proving and polishing a book called "The Principle of Micro-Continuity".

Then, his mentor Liu Qing asked him, "The problem is, I don't know what it can be used for."

He Xi's face turned pale. He didn't know how to answer, which was a flaw in his character. He could only repeat, "It's correct, I guarantee it."

He spent ten years proving himself right, but he couldn't answer what was the point, how pedantic and foolish!

The school did not approve He Xi's research project, and naturally, there was no funding. Liu Qing advised He Xi to do something meaningful, but He Xi laughed loudly while tears streamed down her face, and sarcastically remarked, "What good would that do? Should I compile a postgraduate entrance exam guide?"

Many people who see this actually don't quite understand it.

Stubborn! Obsessed, single-minded!

This is how many young viewers feel about He Xi right now.

But He Hongwei understands him! Because he was once like that person too!
Perhaps only truly dedicated, focused, and persistent individuals can discover mathematical gems like "micro-continuums"?
It's just a pity that he was born at the wrong time!

If it were Old Kang or Old Mai, they would know how to be flexible, wait, and look for opportunities when faced with such problems.

For many people, compiling a postgraduate entrance exam guide is a very respectable and good job.

If He Xi hadn't been so persistent and inflexible, perhaps everything would have been different.

But if he knew how to be flexible and adaptable, then perhaps he wouldn't be He Xi!
He Xi had no choice; the school didn't support his research, so he had to do it himself!
But he had no money!
What could he do? He could only turn to his mother, Xia Qunfang, for help! He hoped she could borrow tens of thousands of yuan to publish his book. After a moment of silence, Xia Qunfang took out her savings book, which contained the proceeds from her purchase of 27 years of service, and gave it to He Xi. After hesitating for a moment, she said, "I'll ask them if we can pay a few months later. It's a pity to withdraw now as it's a current account."

He Xi walked out like that, and her last words were, "I want to see the total number again."

"25380 dollars."

Her 27 years.

In those days, this was undoubtedly a "huge sum of money"!
That's the amount from the buyout of this mother's 27 years of service.

She didn't understand her son's research; she was just an ordinary mother who couldn't even understand an electricity bill.

But her son was everything to her; if he wanted something, she gave it to him.

He Xi was obsessed. He didn't even consider what would happen if his book was published.

Upon seeing this, He Hongwei's eyes reddened.

How he wished that someone could have the "discerning eye" to recognize He Xi's talent and discover the light of "micro-continuum"!
He knew that if someone truly had the "eye for talent," then that great work wouldn't have been buried for over a hundred years!
The story continues.
The mother took out the savings book that she had earned through 27 years of work and gave it to her son.

But it's not enough!
However, He Xi wanted to publish her hard work, the culmination of ten years of effort, and even the culmination of her life's work.

He stopped caring about everything; his clumsy smoking and worldly-wise demeanor were all for the sake of paying less publishing fees.

He borrowed money from Lao Kang time and time again, but little did he know that the shrewd and calculating Lao Kang was not just lending money, but giving back Jiang Xue and their love!
